Despite the heavy rains Art Market Pop Shop had no shortage of guests who graced their opening on August 2.

Zines, stickers, one-of handmade items by artists that you won't find inside a typical gallery

This temporary set-up organized by Clear Gallery Toyko together with The Art Form Pare is inspired by Keith Haring’s “Pop shop.” The idea behind Pop Shop was to broaden the artist’s reach to to people. In a sense this pop-up aims to be an accessible mean discover young artists or find affordable artwork.

According Alex Junia, Clear Gallery Tokyo’s Manila Curator, over the course of their stay they are expecting more works to come into the space as well as workshops to be hosted by the participating artists in the space.

Some brands you will find in this space are Kita, Salad Days, and untitled canvas among others.

There is also an abundance of artworks by young artists such as Bea Policarpoio, Arly Pescuela, Quatro, Kelli Maeshiro and UP Fine Arts Students to name a few.

For a limited time, Art Market Pop Shop is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 3pm to 10 pm at StrEat Food park in Maginhawa, Quezon City until the 24th of August.
